Betrayed by My Pack – Wolfless Hybrids Escape

Chapter 70 –



Paxton's POV

I am still pissed about Lena acting like I am made of money. I am already doing enough here as it is. She really has some nerve in asking me to do anything more. I know she is sticking her neck out to help us get them back. It is risky, but I knew Lena wasn't doing it out of the kindness of her heart. She wanted Jaxon badly. She really reminds me of Lisa, a lot. That was not a good thing. Lisa had always portrayed herself as a kind person until I mated her. She has spent the last three years showing me just how wrong I had been.

Rex had noted everything that Lena had told us. Right down to our having to interact with the vampires before we needed them. I didn't want to have to house them here, but Clay had already typed up contracts for them to sign. They will have to agree to follow rules while they are here. I built the house to have windows. I know that they will probably not be here for very long. I know for a fact that I do not want them to live here, but my hands are tied. I needed them to help us get Cara and her sisters back.

But just because we needed them doesn't mean they have free reign to do whatever they wanted to here. If they hunt, they have to leave the packland. They could not hunt within a mile of the pack, and they needed to learn the scent of our pack members. They needed to steer clear of them as I would not allow them to scare my members any more than knowing that they lived here would do. It was cheaper to allow them to live here, my men will build it, it is part of what they do. Their house will be basic, strong, but not fancy.

I am still having windows built on it. I know they didn't want them, but I am doing this for the next tenants. I have special shutters built on both the inside and outside of the windows, so the home can be dark, just as they requested. I just have a feeling that they will want to hang out here until the threat against them has passed. Then they will leave. Because I know as well as she does that Alexei will want to kill them both because I would if it were me. I want to kill someone every time I think of Cara managing to escape. I still cannot believe that they had the nerve to do it.

I know someone must have tipped them off, but I don't know how. I wish I knew because I would honestly kill them for what they have done. If they hadn't run like they had, I wouldn't have had to chase them. I almost had them. I had Clay honking to warn them not to enter Black Adder. I was furious with them at the time and still am.

I was just finishing up my work for the day when I heard a knock on the door. I already knew who it was, as I had scented her before she knocked. I didn't have time for this. I was completely done with her, and I had told her that. But she was my Luna, and I didn't want to fight with her now. Not with it being so close to getting Cara back. I am going to have the vampires deal with her. That is going to be a verbal deal between us. Rex knows, and he is OK with it. Lisa has been the bane of his existence his entire life.

Once she was born, he never had his parent's attention again. He was one year old when she was born. Their perfect princess was doted on by her mother and father from the day she was born. At least, that is what I heard from my parents. Even though Rex was to be the next Gamma, he was never favored. They have always had the dream that Lisa would be my mate from the moment she was born.

They were just as disappointed as she was when they discovered she was not my mate. I was actually relieved, as I really didn't want to live out the rest of my days with her. She was good for some fun but not as the Luna of the pack. She was self-centered. She wasn't the strongest, that was Brenna and Luna. She wasn't the prettiest in the pack. That was always Cara. I knew that Lisa had it out for Cara. I couldn't be obvious about protecting her. I had a reputation to maintain. The pack would never accept her at the time. Things have changed now. I am done with Lisa. I already know that she is barren. The pack will accept Cara after she has my child. Once Lisa disappears, the pack will eventually get over it.

"Enter," I called out. Lisa immediately entered with a smile that I know was designed to be sexy, but it did nothing for me. She was wearing a barely there halter dress that she had pulled higher to expose her thighs. The dress didn't do anything for me either. She doesn't get me hard anymore, no matter what she does. Even with her hair cut and colored to resemble Cara's, Lisa failed to attract my interest. She was an off brand version of Cara, one I didn't want to deal with right now.

"Paxton, I just wanted to come by and check on you. You are always locked in your office, and I miss you," Lisa purred into my ear as she stood behind me and tried to massage my shoulders.

"Lisa, I don't have time for this. I really don't. I need to speak to Clay and Rex soon, as we have a meeting in ten minutes," I growled out at her as I glanced at the watch on my wrist. I did have a meeting with them, but I didn't want her to stay here and listen to what we were about to say. We were not going to be discussing pack business. We were going to go over the plan and make a few plans of our own. I was worried that we were walking into a trap. I need to have some insurance so we can get through it.

"We can get it done in ten, Paxton. I am ready to go," She raised her dress to show me she wasn't wearing any underwear, not even her usual thong.

"Sorry, Lisa. I'm not interested. I have work to do," I told her. I could see the anger shining in her eyes when I refused her blatant offer.

"Why are you suddenly not interested in me anymore, Paxton? I love you. I have done everything you have ever asked of me. I need you to help me create your child. There may be some complications. I don't think that I can get pregnant the old-fashioned way. Are you at least willing to provide sperm for me to try IVF?" Lisa asked me.

"Lisa, if you knew that we wouldn't be able to get pregnant the natural way, why did you come in here trying to seduce me? I don't want to do IVF with you. I have already decided who I want to have my children with. I gave you over a thousand opportunities to get pregnant, but you never did. I don't believe that is on me; my wolf, Mace, says that the problem lies with you. I did try, Lisa, over and over again. You know I needed an heir. Don't try to lay blame at my doorstep. You have cheated on me several times. In fact, you do it every single time you leave this pack. You must think I am an imbecile or something if you think I didn't realize that," I replied.

"I may have strayed, but you need to admit that you never loved me, Paxton. You have strayed, too, so what? I knew that it was always that fucking witch you held in your heart. I saw how you looked at her. I want you to know that you are the reason Cara got hurt. The more you gazed at her with love, the angrier I got. I almost wish she was here to take my anger out on now. Look, Paxton, she is gone, and I am your Luna. I won't let her take my place. You either get me pregnant, or no one will carry your child. Anyone who volunteers to be with you and bear your pups will be dealt with. I don't care what you want. You made me your Luna. So, just get over it. I am here and willing. Cara is not. I will never voluntarily step down. You can dream on if you think that will ever happen," Lisa snarled at me as she yanked her dress down. "Being with you has never been a dream of mine, Lisa. I just managed to accept it because I thought I was protecting Cara. I am glad you never got pregnant. I would hate to think of you having my baby. Only Cara is qualified to bear my children and believe me, she will. I don't care what you do. You can go up to our room and sulk, but I refuse to assist you in bearing my children," I told her.

I dug the knife in as hard as I could. She would never leave my office if I didn't do just that. She will only leave if you squash her affection like a bug. I watched as the fire flared up in her eyes. She was furious, and I could tell that she was not going to let this go. I could see it shining in her eyes.

"Just you wait, Paxton. I swear to you that I will never allow you to leave me. I also won't allow you to live a happy life with Cara. I would kill her way before that happened. I don't care what you want, Paxton. Your life is mine now. You won't get to live a happy life and just leave me behind. Everything that I have ever done has been on a path to exactly where I am. I won't allow you or anyone else to take my title away from me. We are in this together one way or another; it will always be just you and me. I will be the only one to bear your pup, or you won't have any. I promise you if anyone else tries to. I will kill them and the little bastard they are carrying inside of them," Lisa tells me before her laughter fills the room.

Her mind has clearly snapped. She kept laughing as she exited my office. She is very serious about doing just that. I need to make sure that Cara is kept safe from Lisa. It will be much easier to remove Lisa from her position, by showing the Council how she truly acts. Her eerie laughter still floats in the air long after she walked away. I know Lisa; she is absolutely serious about what she just said. I am going to speak to the vampires when we pick them up. I don't think that it will be too hard to give them a toy to play with, as Lisa is becoming dangerous now. I won't allow her to hurt Cara or my pup. I started working on a new plan of action. I will deal with Lisa very soon. Lisa isn't in charge here, I am. It's time for me to remind her of that.
